Review: The Canon Ixus 430 or Powershot s410 (as it is known outside the UK) is a truly amazing camera with 3x optical zoom and 3.6 digital giving a combined zoom of 11x. It's very portable and also powerful. Pictures taken from the camera are sharp and smooth-looking. It is the replacement of the Ixus 400 and so is very similar it's main difference being that the 430 has an extra Print/Share button which allows you to print the pictures directly or transfer pictures to PC while connected via USB With the supplied memory card of 32MB it's possible to take 14 pictures at the best quality and highest resolution while at it's lowest resolution and highest quality you are able to take 120. I would definitely recommend you buy a larger memory card and keep your 32MB as spare which will give more space to play around without having to worry about how much more you can store. The camera uses a CompactFlash card in a Type I slot therefore you cannot use thicker cards like the Microdrive. The Ixus 430 can record videos up to 3 minutes in length with sound although even with a larger capacity memory card the limit will still be 3 minutes. It has 1.5" color LCD with a non-reflective coating that makes it quite visible in bright light as well as resistant to smears. It is great for playing back your videos and viewing pictures. I would recommend buying this camera if you want a good point and shoot camera that is small and produces brilliant pictures even in low light conditions. |
